At the same time, the editor also hopes that you can pay attention to your body when taking a bath and never catch a cold. Once you catch a cold, it will affect the baby!

Pregnant women can take a bath every day, especially in summer, and they can take a bath twice a day. However, pregnant women should choose to shower instead of bathing in a tub or soaking in a bath. And pay attention to the time. It is best not to take a bath for more than 15 minutes each time. In addition, be careful not to let the water temperature be too high, 37-8° is enough. Water temperature that is too high will affect the baby's development. Since you cannot take a shower immediately after giving birth, it is best to take a shower every day in the late pregnancy to be ready for delivery at any time.

When it comes to bathing, expectant mothers should first take a standing shower instead of a tub bath or a sitting bath. Secondly, they should pay attention to appropriate methods and ways of cleaning sensitive parts of the body.

Shower is the best choice

Generally speaking, sitting baths are not recommended after pregnancy, because dirty water may directly enter the vagina after sitting baths. During pregnancy, the body's disease prevention ability is weakened, which can easily cause cervicitis, vaginitis, salpingitis, etc., or cause urinary tract infections. These induced diseases are very likely to cause expectant mothers to experience symptoms such as chills, high fever, abdominal pain, and even intrauterine or vulvar infection leading to premature birth. If these symptoms appear, the pregnant mother may need to take medication, which is very detrimental to the development of the fetus.

In the early stages of pregnancy, the mother's belly is still small and she can stand in the shower, but handrails must be installed in the bathroom to prevent her from slipping. In the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the abdomen grows, the mother's movements become inconvenient, her center of gravity is unstable, and she is prone to slipping. Therefore, she must lean on a chair when taking a shower to prevent falling. For pregnant mothers with particularly weak constitutions, they can choose to take a sitz bath occasionally, but they must pay attention to the cleanliness of the bathtub and water.

In addition, pregnant mothers should be careful not to use hot water to rinse the abdomen for a long time when taking a shower, so as not to cause harm to the fetus.

Only by learning this knowledge can you give birth to a lovely child smoothly while ensuring your own health!
